Who chooses the times and schedules this? I would assume you would want early watch or daytime watch if possible Getting up at 2 am must have been brutal, but if I am right at least its only once a week.
Except there are multiple watches at the same time. You can expect to be on watch multiple times per week. And watch continues once you're in the fleet. Sometimes twice a day on duty days (with duty days being every 3-8 days depending on the size of the ship). Also the duty schedule rotates, so you don't always have days, or you don't always have nights.
